Condition Monitoring of VSD-fed Induction Motors by Ralikalakala, Lebohang

“…A similar trend is observed in speed and torque pulsations of the motor under the respective faults. Similarly, the method of diagnostic variables has proven valid for both simulation and experimental results and is able to detect and localise inverter open switch fault for single and double switch fault. …”

Leveraging the microbiome in host genome wide association studies by Awany, Denis

“…Philosophically, the non-parametric specification amounts to the addition of an infinite amount of prior information about all fine details of the parameters being modelled; thus represents an attractive strategy. The utility of the method is demonstrated through simulation experiments and application to real microbiome datasets for schizophrenia, HIV/AIDS, and atherosclerosis diseases, where it is shown that the method is not only robust but also has high statistical power for association inference, resulting in a framework that can contribute to our understanding of the link between the microbiome and human diseases. …”

Acid biodesulphurisation of coal discards using a heap leaching approach by Tambwe, Olivier

“…This thesis presents a proof-of-concept experiment aiming to test the feasibility and efficacy of accelerated desulphurisation as an ARD prevention method. The study was conducted in laboratory-scale columns simulating waste heaps over a period of 380 days, using coal discards from the Emalahleni region of Mpumalanga, South Africa. …”

Efficient radio resource management for the fifth generation slice networks by Oladejo, Sunday Oladayo

“…Besides, neither stochastic geometry nor a three-level hierarchical business model schemes have been employed to model the global energy efficiency of the 5G slice network in the literature, making it the first time such method will be applied to 5G slice network. With rigorous numerical simulations based on Monte-Carlo numerical simulation technique, the performance of the proposed algorithms and schemes was evaluated to show their adaptability, efficiency and robustness for a 5G slice network.…”
